Introducing Staff, Stringers, Videographers, And People Who Make It All Work
Anyone who's ever been to Oshkosh knows that there are hundreds of events and activities as well as tens of thousands of people that descend (some quite literally) on Wittman Regional Airport in mid-summer. While we have a very hard-working and dedicated staff, ANN could not provide you with the extensive information we do without the help of some equally ... some might say more ... dedicated volunteers who give a week of their time to make sure you have the best possible coverage of the show. As we lead up to this year's edition of AirVenture, we'll be introducing you to the people that make all of that possible.
Bruce Brandon: Stringer
Professor Pruce Brandon is an aviation attorney who began a lifetime involvement in aviation when he made his initial solo flight on his sixteenth birthday in a J-3 Cub and obtained his private pilot's license as a high school student.
After graduating from the United States Air Force Academy, he became an Air Force Pilot and served on active duty. After fulfilling his military commitment, he became an airline pilot, graduated with honors from the Wake Forest University School of Law and has practiced with the largest law firm in North Carolina. He is a former adjunct faculty member of the National Transportation Safety Board's Basic Aircraft Accident Investigation School.
Bruce's experience covers the spectrum of aviation law, from airplane crash litigation, to FAA enforcement actions, to proceedings at the National Transportation Safety Board. He is a Fellow of the Royal Aeronautical Society (FRAeS), a member of the North Carolina Bar, Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association, American Association for Justice and retired member of the Air Line Pilots Association. He currently flies a Twin Comanche and an Aeronca Champ.
